Time once again for a work montage! Yay! Work's been really busy... I guess that means I still have a job, although our hours continue to get cut... We're expected to produce the same with less help... Ah well, at least I'm lucky enough to still be employed.

a trio of cakes made for... maybe triplets? the mom wanted them to look like fireworks.

a WOW (world of warcraft) cake for some little boy. he must play a LOT, 'cause the gear on that guy looks pretty high level for someone that's just turning 9!!

WOW cupcakes to go with the boy's WOW cake. if you're unfamiliar with the game, the !'s and ?'s are in the game to show available quests ( ! ) and quests ready to turn in ( ? )... i was told to match the cupcakes to his cake, but that was all... i came up with the ! and ? and thought it was a great idea. i was completely ready to offer the mom an explanation when she came in, if she didn't understand the significance, but she didn't seem to care. :-) apparently, she was embarrassed her son wanted a WOW cake at all.

ugh.. seriously, i'm so tired of anything twilight, and i haven't even seen the movie or read the books. i did this for a girl's birthday, and i have a feeling it won't be the last one i do.

curious george is floating through the sky... i tried to make the top border look like clouds, and the bottom border is grass..

small 12 ct cupcake cake done for an ex-coworker's birthday.

one of the many MANY specialty barbie cakes we have to make at work... i especially like this one because of all the fun swirlies.

i love this cake for two reasons: the awesomely cool tie dye with the bright colors, and the fact that the girl's nickname is "beanie." LOVE it.

so. the little boy this cake was made for loves two things: horses, and batman. i was told to join the two for his cake. i like to think batman has decided to become eco-friendly and is trying to keep exhaust out of the atmosphere.. thus, he's taken to horseback! :-)

for a wedding shower, or engagement party, maybe? i'm not sure which. used the pattern and colors of a plate for this design.

About Me

Life is long. It's tedious, and sometimes not very fun. That's why you need to fill it with amazing friends, wonderful family, a fabulous better-half, good foods, and even better wine and spirits. :-) If you can accomplish that, then you can look past the bad times. It seems to be working for me thus far, anyway. As for myself, I'm 27 and I live outside KCMO. I'm a cake decorator, and I love it. I'd love to own my own bakery someday. And maybe a bed-n-breakfast somewhere. I love to smile and laugh.. I'm a terrible liar.. I love caffeine, and I hate pickles. I have a slight obsession with Wicked (all my pets are named accordingly).. And I would eat sushi every day of the week if I could. I love to stay up late, sleep in, and I'm not very tidy... But I've heard I do have a few redeeming qualities. :-)
